Answer 1

In your activity, override Back Button, stop the AsyncTask in it, and call finish for current activity.

@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
    if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
         MyTask.cancel();
      IscrizioniActivity.this.finish();
        return true;
    }
    return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
